Sports Mouthguard Options

While various types of mouthguards exist, dental professionals consider custom-made mouthguards as the ideal choice. These are crafted by dentists using impressions of the athlete’s dental arches and fabricated in dental laboratories. Custom mouthguards offer superior fit and comfort, and importantly, do not interfere with breathing or speech. This level of customization ensures maximum protection without compromising athletic performance. The table below highlights the differences between various patient sports mouthguard options.

Size Protection Level Fit Comfort Where purchased
Stock Mouthguard Large and bulky Minimum protection Worst fit Least comfort Available
Boil & Bite Mouthguard Large Better than Stock Mouthguard. Does not provide total protection Inconsistent fit Inconsistent comfort level Available at sporting good stores
